Update! Making sense of it all (or: Why don't cachers log trackables correctly!!??)

Quite a few moves to catch up on, and I don't have all the information that I need, but as it's getting close to the end of the race, I've decided to try to put together a chronology for a couple of entries as best as I could;

Firstly; Good news for ITCHYthirdEYE, whose SPANK, the Monkey was apparently retrieved from Ellisha Says Geocoins Only by mr. meagi, who hasn't logged a find since May. I've emailed to ask him about SPANK, but have not yet received a reply. SPANK next turned up in one of mr. meagi's caches, from where it was collected by cacher Mangled99, who placed him in a cache at a busy railway station. So busy, in fact, that SPANK was collected the very same day by East Midlands cacher arewethereyet??. The result of all this is the additional of 30.8 miles to it's distance travelled.

Another entry in the 2009/2010 EmCache Travel Bug Race to miraculously transport itself from one cache to another is lgxkls' Karon's Promise Travel Bug, which turned up in this Welsh cache, 119.3 miles from where it should be in West Yorkshire! Karon's Promise has since been retrieved by Gloucestershire cachers Bredon Marshions. If any previously unrecorded moves turn up, additional milage can be inserted.

Much simpler is that peachleaf's GeoCoin was retrieved from the cache that it was resting in by ice-skating cacher skaterli, who placed into this puzzle cache, adding 326 miles to it's distance travelled. It has since been retrieved by Munich-based cachers MuenchnerKindl.

Garland Gang's LOUIS' VROOM VROOM!! continues it's gentle meander around Northwich by visiting this cache, barely a mile-and-a-half from where it retrieved from a week previously by stavvy.

American cacher f1shheadjr is now fishheadjr, and has placed Johnny B. Goode's You want fries with that? TB into this cache in New Hampshire, adding 115.5 miles to it's distance. Johnny's Travel Bug has now visited 6 different U.S. states.

Finally, cachers DragonsWest have gone on a mini dipping frenzy with greedygreenfrog's Greedy Green Frog Adventure Guide, visiting an Earthcache, a CITO, a virtual cache and an event cache, adding a total of 146.8 miles to the little green fellow's milage.

Scroll down to bottom of this page for latest race placings. I.H.O. means In The Hands Of the named cacher. One * after a TB's milage shows that it is currently overseas, two ** shows that it has travelled overseas and returned to the UK.
